Eventually you'll probably get tired of walking everywhere, watching the sand dunes creeping by, getting swarmed by robbers you can't outrun... and when you do, it might be time to buy a vehicle.
You will have to leave the south-eastern Backwaters to buy them, and you'll need to start carrying an extra supply of fuel since pushing them across the sand is not an option and not every town has gas for sale. You'll also need enough seats for your entire crew, and to get rid of any animal slower than a horse to get any benefit out of owning a vehicle, since the caravan always moves at the pace of the slowest thing in it. But once all that's taken care of, just watch those sand dunes flying by! The robbers can choke on your dust!
Also note that not all towns that sell vehicles also sell fuel. Buy fuel before purchasing vehicles. Unless you bring your own, you may buy a new Jeep or ATV, only to have to immediately abandon it if the shop won't buy it back!

Empty Vehicle Shop[]
Sometimes, what ends up happening is that all the vehicles in the shops are gone. You can't find any at all.Don't panic-this is temporary. Those NPC caravans will buy up vehicles over time. They will eventually buy ALL the vehicles. When this happens, the game will automatically have its towns start "making" vehicles. After a couple of months of ingame time, there will be a fresh stock of vehicles in the animal shop. Be patient and wait it out, the vehicles will appear again eventually.
